项目摘要

During embryonic development each body part is programmed to contain an accurate number and arrangement of cells. This accuracy is achieved through precise regulation of cell proliferation in the face of the molecular noise characteristic of the biochemical processes regulating the cell cycle. The molecular mechanisms by which embryos suppress noise remain poorly understood. Uncovering these mechanisms is a central goal of Developmental Biology and requires the development of novel methodologies to measure quantitatively cellular dynamics in living embryos. The overarching goal of this proposal is to reveal the molecular mechanisms that ensure accurate control of the cell cycle during Drosophila embryonic development. We will study the molecular mechanisms ensuring precise temporal regulation of cell division through control of gene expression, signaling and protein degradation. We have developed live imaging and computational approaches to quantify the dynamics of the major enzymes regulating the cell cycle during embryonic development. In Aim 1, we will use biosensors for the activities of of Cdk1 and Chk1 to identify how chemical waves act to synchronize mitosis in the syncytial embryo. In Aim 2, we will use live imaging to dissect the molecular mechanisms that ensure the cell cycle remodeling at the maternal-to-zygotic transition. In Aim 3, we will elucidate how transcriptional regulation of cdc25string ensures precise regulation of the timing of mitosis during gastrulation. These experiments will define a novel quantitative framework for uncovering how the cell cycle is regulated accurately during embryonic development.

在胚胎发育过程中，每个身体部位都被编程为包含准确的数字和细胞的排列。这种准确性是通过精确调节细胞增殖来实现的调节细胞周期的生化过程的分子噪音特征。分子胚胎抑制噪音的机制仍知之甚少。揭示这些机制是发育生物学的中心目标，需要开发新的方法来测量活胚胎中的定量细胞动力学。该提案的总体目标是揭示确保果蝇胚胎期间细胞周期精确控制的分子机制发展。我们将研究确保细胞分裂的精确时间调控的分子机制通过控制基因表达、信号传导和蛋白质降解。我们开发了实时成像和量化调节细胞周期的主要酶的动态的计算方法胚胎发育。在目标 1 中，我们将使用生物传感器检测 Cdk1 和 Chk1 的活性，以确定如何化学波使合胞体胚胎中有丝分裂同步。在目标 2 中，我们将使用实时成像来剖析确保母体向合子转变时细胞周期重塑的分子机制。瞄准 3、我们将阐明cdc25string的转录调控如何确保精确调控时间原肠胚形成期间的有丝分裂。这些实验将定义一个新颖的定量框架，以揭示如何细胞周期在胚胎发育过程中受到精确调节。
